Almost anyone who carries out remote visual inspection (RVI) work in confined spaces will tell you - more light gives better results. Even though camera technology has improved performance dramatically in recent years, the best image quality and highest contrast can only be realized when the area is fully illuminated. Inuktun offers a line of easy to use and very bright light modules­ that work independently or with our crawler systems, and now we have a new option for the Spectrum 90™ and Spectrum 120™ PTZ cameras. Until recently, these cameras were only available with high intensity LED flood lights; ideal for working in smaller or well-lit areas, but fairly limited at longer distances...

All too often we see and hear surprise when our customers discover that Inuktun not only offers robust robotic crawlers for remote inspections, but that our cameras are also available on their own. Like the rest of our products, the Spectrum™ cameras are truly Multi-Mission Modular, and they offer some of the most advanced imaging capabilities on the market. All our cameras have built-in LED lighting with pan and tilt capabilities, and they work both in air or underwater. Our ICON and InPRO software control systems provide innovative recording and reporting capabilities – whether they are part of a complete crawler system or a standalone RVI tool.

When it comes to the nuclear industry, Inuktun’s rugged and durable robotic systems are designed to operate under the harshest conditions. After performing structural integrity assessments, retrieving objects, or carrying out general visual inspection, you can find this OnSpec customized Versatrax 150™ in the laydown area. EDF Energy, the UK’s largest producer of low-carbon electricity, created this custom case for their VT150 pipe inspection vehicle. It tilts so that the crawler can drive directly onto it; talk about VIP parking!
